The Edinburgh Repie,O thinks that the
planet Mars may justly be considered
kind of duplicate earth, it being endowed
with land, water, clouds, and air, and snow
accumulating around its poles in their re-
spective seasons of winter. II TINS De So
the atmosphere Of the planet is, however,
obviously much more rare than that OF the
earth, so that it only exerts at the planet's5
surface pressure Of about two pounds and
q quarter to the square inch. The climate climate
of Mars is conceived, from the email amount .,
of snow that accumulates at the poles OF me IN
planet, to be comparatively mild and II the he
water is disturbed into very cuTo Gus series fraa
of long parallel canals which run OUT d ,pom
the ocean basins to an extent, IN some
places, of three and four thousand miles
As ia well known, astronomers have sue
ceeded in discovering since 1877 two moons moo IS
not more than six or seven miles, and one
of them completing revolution round the
Planet in little more than seven hours.

A couple Of rascals are SWIMMING the Far.

A couple of rascals are swindling the far
mers of Greene county. Pennsylvania, in an
ingenious manner. They read the local
newspapers carefully, and when farmer
publishes an estray notice, No. l calls 10
look at the animal. The farmers show the
b casts, and the fellow decides it is not ms
then he returns to his partner and describes
it infinitely to him. No: goes, TO the l "a
,rtr and, after proving by q thorough de,
scrjption that he is the owner of the animal
saws he cannot take it away and oilers TO
sell it at bargain. The farmer buys 1t,
and in few days the rightful owner comes
and claims the animal.

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness bas
been demonstrated and appreciated durn,
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence n
its columns mas always been found mryo-
of passing events, and the careful chroni.
cling of the history ofwhatis going on in tho
world has ever been its aim. It is ALWAYS
welcomed in the household, while in thu
counting room and workshop it has become
Invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities tor Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so clos.
to the great centre of news it enjoy. daily
the benefit OF the Associated Press Dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our owD domain as well O..
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve ana
fifteen hours earlier than the morning ps.
pers.
Another feature that serves TO make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of the State, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE
The GAzETTE's circulation Is slsadi, ia
creasing, especially among people who con
suit its advertising columns before purchos.
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country edi.
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three tines

make purchases. The advantages of adj

kept up the fields of Japan, where the
population has been dense for so many
centuries, and where the land is cropped
not merely once year, but much of it
twice or even three times. The objection
is sometimes made by foreigners that this
process tends to spread the germs of dis
ease, but | have never seen any proof of
this, while the japanese contend that the
thorough fermentation which always takes
place in the watts destroys all germs and
renders the mixture entirely harmless.
VARIETY AND VOLUME OF PRODUCTION
Before going further it will be best to
present statement of the principal pro-
ducts of the empire, as this gives us a key
to some of the methods of agriculture.
There is such discrepancy in the different
authorities on this subject, that l applied
to the Government officials at Toxic for
reliable information, to be embodied in
this article, and Mr.. Yanageka, formerly
Consul at San Francisco, and now of the
Agricultural Department at Toxic, sends
me the following as the latest and most re-
liable statistics of the

The wonderful efficacy of Swift's Specific as
remedy and cure for rheumatism and all blood
disease, has never had d more conspicuous
illustration than this case affords. The candid
unsolicited and emphatic testimony given by
the venerable gentleman must be accepted as
convincing and conclusive. The writer is
prominent citizen of Mississippi The gentle
man to whom Nj. Martin refers, and to whom
he is indebted for the advice to which he owes
his final relief from years of suffering, is Mr.
King, for many years the popular night clerk of
the Lawrence House, at Jackson.

GelstIemen-1 have been an invalid pensioner
for forty years, having contracted pulmonary
and other diseases in the Mexican War; but not
till the LIST of March, 1875. did l feel any symp-
toms of rheumatism. On that day was sud-
denly stricken with that disease in both hips
and ankles; For twenty days walk on
shifted from joint to joint. For weeks would
be totally disabled, either on one side of my
body or the other. The pain never left me
